Surprisingly sane movie about the care of pigs! Shelter, feed and general well being of pigs are discussed here. All of them look mighty happy, and there's no disease or unpleasant scenes here, which is a nice change.

There's a little bit of stiff animation, including a cycle of piglets going around their mother. The pig in a HAMmock is the best one. Was the pun intended? The film ends with "porker passengers" on a Union Pacific Train. Destination: DEATH.
